Hi Fellows,
I'm planning to build an local online charity where people can vote for the case their money should be spent. I'm going to build it using Ethereum smart contracts & Solidity, so it can continue to work autonomously.
Would you please sharing your thoughts on that? Introducing similar services(if any)? Or your useful suggestions on how to improve its functionality/features.
As a side question: Do you think building it on Bitcoin infrastructure would generate any advantages?

- Why do you want to get into the entire ETH and Smart Contracts complication? Just create a bitcoin address where your local bitcoin holders can donate in bitcoin? The money coming on the address and the money being distributed to the charity can be tracked easily on the block explorer.

That seems much simpler indeed and if OP wants to add another layer of trust, they could also work with a multisig address where he adds another trusted party, which would be needed to actually spend funds.
Heck, wouldn't it even be possible to automatically spend the funds from the one address in OP's control to different charities? Maybe even tie those mechanics to a public poll?

I know that's already complicating it, but I suspect it wouldn't be that hard to write a script like that. (could be completely wrong of course, I'm just spitballing ideas here)
